Swing and a miss! They don't use LiCoO2 because of the increased potential for fires. What Tesla uses is a modified version of NCA, or Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (LiNiCoAlO2). It still has the potential for fire, but it's not as volatile as LiCoO2. https://my.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/battery-experts-say-tesla-battery-chemistry-volatile-and-dangerous https://my.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/battery-experts-say-...
